PROJECTS

1.     The CEID STEM Foundation is working on two projects: the STEM Resource Center and Laboratory Equipment. This Science and Technology Center will be built to serve the Battor school district in Ghana, allowing students and teachers to engage in hands-on and inquiry-based learning in STEM and computer science. The second project is to raise funds and materials to supply the center with equipment, computers, and utilities needed to sustain the center, including a 3D printer, projector, statistical and data acquisition software, laboratory equipment, tables, and chairs. We aim to help all students interested in STEM fields in this school district specialize in skilled trades, applied sciences, and modern technologies, preparing them for future STEM careers and inspiring the next generation of STEM teachers.

2.     STEM SUMMER CAMP (2018) - This is a project-oriented camp for upper-primary to high-school students. It introduces them to cutting-edge programming, computational thinking, sustainable and innovative technology, design, and system thinking. This camp is a unique opportunity for entrepreneurial and STEM-minded students to learn how to develop and explore science and technology. It combines hands-on training with international instructors, peer collaboration, technology expert speakers on topics of interest, and individual exploration. Each student is expected to conceptualize and develop an innovative technology project. Based on programming skills and subject interest, homework and team assignments will be assigned. The camp will focus on projects that change how people learn and teach STEM, such as creating classroom tools for students to use and learn STEM. Lectures and discussions will cover computational, systems, and design thinking, product design and technology management, industrial application statistics, technology process development, and current strategies on unique topics by seasoned technologists and data scientists from institutions of learning and technology industries like Intel and Samsung in the USA.

3.     Mathematics and Scientific Computation Program: - This program prepares students for a mathematical career incorporating extensive computer science skills. It emphasizes using computers as a tool to solve mathematically modeled physical problems. Students often pursue positions as mathematical analysts, scientific programmers, software engineers, or systems analysts. According to the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, students can learn more mathematics more deeply using technology. We want to present materials in a non-traditional way, exposing students to solving several fundamental problems. They will use optimization techniques, modeling, simulation, and other mathematical tools as needed to solve these problems.  The program will cover a range of topics, including computational mathematics, data analysis, and probability, vector analysis and computation, pre-algebra to pre-calculus, mathematics and statistics seminar, project-based calculus, a writing seminar, multivariable and vector calculus, probability and statistics methods, differential equations, linear algebra, introduction to computer science theory, numerical analysis, data analysis and graph theory, mathematical and computational modeling.

INNOVATION AND SUSTAINABILITY

  1. Sustainable development aims to fulfill the current generation's needs while preserving the ability of future generations to meet their own. It recognizes the essential requirements of the world's poor and considers the limitations of technology and social organization on the capacity of the environment to satisfy present and future needs.

  2. This camp seeks to expose students to the various aspects of sustainability, including social, environmental, and economic spheres. Sustainability is a multidisciplinary and integrative field with scientific, statistical, and humanistic dimensions.

  3. Encouraging peer engagement and support through group discussions and projects can help alleviate feelings of sustainability overload. Providing support to educators in the form of a sustainability certificate is another way to aid the community.

  4. Integrating sustainability thinking into science and engineering curricula can be achieved through innovative approaches, methods, and tools that translate sustainability principles into practice.

  5. You can financially support or donate equipment for projects like creating STEM learning centers or project-centered curricula. These initiatives aim to enhance students learning in the four STEM disciplines.
